This transcription of a Latin motet would work well as a warmup. The notes are easy but the lines are hard. This encourages listening between sections. As a 6-part motet, every part is doubled by another part of the band.

Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (30 September 1852 – 29 March 1924) was an Irish composer, music teacher, and conductor. He composed a substantial number of concert works, including seven symphonies, but his best-remembered pieces are his choral works for church performance, chiefly composed in the Anglican tradition.

Beati quorum via (Blessed are those whose way), Op. 38, No. 3, is a motet for mixed unaccompanied six-part choir by Charles Villiers Stanford, a setting of the first verse of Psalm 119 in Latin. It is the last of Stanford's Three Latin Motets, published in 1905.

Stanford composed it at the end of the 19th century when he was a teacher at the Royal College of Music in London. Paul J. Rodmell wrote in his review of R. J. Stowe's book Stanford education: his finest unaccompanied motets, such as Beati quorum via, attain neo-Brucknerian sublimity, comparing Stanford's work to that of Hubert Parry and Anton Bruckner.

The third movement from the Fourth Symphony, the so-called Hunting Scherzo has become probably the most popular of Anton Bruckner's symphonic  movements. It got its final form in the second of three versions in 1878. The symphony premiered on 20 February 1881 in Vienna with the Vienna  Philharmonic conducted by Hans Richter. The arrangement is kept in the original key of the composition for symphony orchestra and was commissioned and  first time performed by Mozarteum Wind Philharmonic Salzburg conducted by Hansjoerg Angerer at their Three Kings' Concert on 6 January 2018 at the  Grosses Festspielhaus (Large Festival Hall) in Salzburg, Austria and broadcasted live by Austrian television.
